Rupture (2016 film)

Rupture is a 2016 American science fiction horror thriller film directed by Steven Shainberg and starring Noomi Rapace.

After dropping off her son Evan with her ex-husband Cliff, Renée Morgan is abducted during a staged roadside tire repair by a five-person team overseen by Dr. Nyman.

Fellow captive Blake talks to Renée through the vent from an adjacent room and explains that their captors are forcing subjects to face their personal fears.

With the entire operation overseen by Terrence, Renée is repeatedly tested and experimented on by Dr. Nyman, Dr. Raxlen, Diana, Colette, and a Bald Man.

Exploiting Blake’s fear of snakes, the doctors cryptically reveal that they are using terror to initiate a DNA change in test subjects.

Having failed his final test, Colette gives Blake a medication via a syringe, telling him it will sedate him and when he awakes, he will be back home.

When Blake is wheeled out of his room, Renée uses the opportunity to sneak into the hallway through his open cell door and explore the lab.
